J. Logan ꒰ ‘THE CURE’ ꒱

Reader has loved John Logan since they were sixteen. Now, four months into a “casual” friends-with-benefits arrangement born from one drunken mistake, she’s stuck somewhere between heartbreak and hope—wanting more from the boy who crashes into her apartment at 2 a.m., sleeps in her bed, and somehow still looks right through her. The problem? John Logan can’t stop wanting someone else. And reader is starting to wonder how much longer she can survive being loved only halfway.

F.W. | was it casual?

F.W | You and Fred Weasley had been intwined deeply since third year, relationship progressing into something deeper through a casual ‘mutual-benefit’ contract—except you want more than to be casual to him.

SPACE BETWEEN l l. dreyar

Stuck between friendship and love, Laxus is your best friend—except you have always harbored feelings for him. Will he stand up and fight for you when Gajeel and Juvia set you up on a series of dates? Or will he not?

𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙚𝙡 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 | r. ballantine

Every summer, you and Rory Ballantine return to Sterling Point—and every summer, you cross the line between best friends and something more. But this year feels different. With Rory still refusing to admit what exists between you and Ellis beginning to make you wonder what a real relationship could look like, you’re finally running out of reasons to wait. Five summers of pretending it means nothing. One summer to decide if it ever meant everything.

K.O. | UNBOTHERED

Stuck in a casual relationship with the shadow of the Host Club, Kyoya Ootori, will you be able to bridge the gap he placed, or overcome it?

SOME PROTECTOR ♤ k. watson

Everyone knows Keifer Watson as the boy with the sharp tongue, colder stare, and a habit of making your life just a little harder than it needs to be. No one knows that the same boy is the one sneaking through your bedroom window after midnight, tracing lazy circles against your skin, whispering promises that somehow never make it past sunrise. For months, you’ve lived in the gray space between almost and never—sharing kisses that no one can know about, stolen moments in empty hallways, and conversations that only exist behind closed doors. In public, he’s distant. Cruel, even. He teases you with everyone watching, laughs when they laugh, and pretends you’re nothing more than another girl he can’t stand. You tell yourself it’s temporary. That eventually he’ll stop hiding you. That eventually you’ll be worth claiming. But when the two of you are placed in the same section, pretending becomes a lot harder. Every glance lasts too long. Every insult cuts deeper. Every touch that happens in secret feels heavier than the last. And as the line between love and convenience begins to blur, you’re left wondering whether Keifer is terrified of admitting how he feels— —or if you’ve been holding onto someone who was never going to choose you in the first place.

BEGGED ‎ꫂ᭪݁ E. Seonghyeon

They aren’t together. At least, that’s what Seonghyeon keeps saying. Never mind the late-night phone calls that last until sunrise. Never mind the way he reaches for her hand when no one’s looking, or how she knows exactly how he takes his coffee. Never mind that she’s the first person he texts when something good happens and the only person he wants when everything falls apart. They’re not together. Because if they were, Seonghyeon wouldn’t flirt with other girls in public. He wouldn’t introduce her as “just a friend.” He wouldn’t leave her wondering why she’s good enough behind closed doors but never good enough to claim. Stuck somewhere between lovers and strangers, she’s forced to decide how much heartbreak she’s willing to endure for a boy who wants everything she gives him—except the title.

FLIPPING THE MARK, M. Riddle

She loved him for six years. He spent every one of them wishing she'd leave him alone. But when soulmate marks appear on their seventeenth birthdays, Mattheo Riddle is faced with the one thing he never wanted: her. And when the girl who once revolved around his every word finally stops chasing him, Mattheo begins to realize that perhaps the worst thing about having a soulmate isn't being bound to someone you don't love. It's realizing you might have loved her all along, only to lose her before you ever got the chance to tell her.

❝I KNEW YOU❞ d. brasselton

Section E is where Higher Value International School sends the students they’ve already given up on. To everyone else, they’re trouble. To each other, they’re family. For as long as you can remember, David Brasselton has been the one constant in your life— a neighbor, best friend, and the person who has unknowingly held your heart for years. But while loving David has always come easily, watching him stay loyal to a girlfriend halfway across the world out of guilt rather than love is something you’ll never get used to. So you bury your feelings behind teasing smiles, shared walks home, and a friendship you refuse to ruin. After all, some people are lucky enough to fall in love with their best friend. You just happen to be unlucky enough that he belongs to someone else.
